How to Make Beef Medallions In Red Wine Sauce

Cut 4 beef medallions crosswise into 12 equal rounds (approximately 1 inch thick).
Gently pound each beef round to a generous 1/4-inch thickness using plastic wrap to prevent tearing.
Season both sides lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy-bottomed large skillet over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, sear the beef medallions for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned on the outside and still pink in the center. Transfer to a plate.
Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the same skillet.
Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup of beef broth and 1/2 cup of dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot).
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
Return the seared beef medallions and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through and coat the medallions in the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
